Projects
There are a wide range of projects underway at the University. These projects
will help the University achieve its strategic priorities of excellence in
education and excellence in research, and support the implementation of the
University’s Strategic Plan, 2013-14 to 2018-19.
Many of these projects are specifically aimed at improving services to students,
applicants and/or staff.
These pages include information on the University’s
policies and guidelines on project management, and
information on current and recently completed projects.
Revenue projects
These are projects that are funded from the annual
revenue budgets of the University. Revenue projects are
managed within the University’s
Project Management Framework, and there is a
flowchart that summarises the Framework (PDF
document, restricted access). The Project Management
Framework sets out how revenue projects are proposed,
approved, managed and closed.
The University’s Project Co-ordination Group is
responsible for overseeing the development and
implementation of the Project Management Framework.
Capital projects
These are projects that are funded from the
University’s capital resources. Such projects are
included in the University’s Capital Investment
Programme. The processes for the proposal, approval,
management and closure of capital projects are currently
being reviewed. Once this review is completed the
relevant guidance will be published on these webpages.
The University’s Capital Planning Group is responsible
for making recommendations to USG and Council on the
development of the Capital Investment Programme.
